Very nice progress Ron! Really enjoy looking at those pics!

That's got to be one of the biggest FMIC's on a dsm in this part of the world lol

Thanks its go big or go home time! Want to rep Canada at the shootout some year haha

I beleive 200 psi

So got some more progress done on the car! ETS 6"core is now mounted and ready to go, got the turbo to intercooler piping done, and the dry sump Tank mounted! Big thanks to ETS and Comp Turbo that billet turbo looks like its ready to do some serious damage!

Looks good Ron!

I assume that gear that's coming off your cam is for the sump?

Correct that well drive the oil pump, and possibly fuel pump

Which fuel pump is that? I haven't heard of that.

Mechanical fuel pump!

I see your turbo placement is super low.
Mine is somewhere inbetween yours and the stock position, and at times if I fill the oil up too far in the pan, at idle I will have a backup and burn oil.
I am guessing with the dry sump, you don't need to worry about this?

educate me

Yeah the plan it have the drysump pulling oil from the turbo so drainage won't be an issue!

When we turboed saturns... Some guys used electric fuel pumps to pull the oil thru the turbo and pump it back to the valve cover.

Not sure if a fuel pump would work or is ideal but there are special pump for that application if you need one!

Ya the fuel pump worked well. I never used it myself bu we got the idea from the supra forums.apperantly some of the first 1000hp supras were doing it. There prolly is much better pumps to use... But this was 10 years ago. I beleive the fuel pump was a stock inline pump. Maybe even from another supra.

This board is being real glitchy follow my build on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/117172561744094/397096667085014/?notif_t=group_comment#!/groups/117172561744094/

Feel free to post on the RTM forums also....we would welcome a nice build thread there...

Dear Ron,

Build a rocket ship already and stop making everyone else unfathomably jealous

+1

Funny thing is... All i ever see on his facebook... Is viper viper viper!

Yeah I am with Jay, after some searching I was able to find some pictures of the yellow beast.

That link didn't work that my build page on fb Rons talon page should beable to search it.

It runs the Talon doesn't haha just saying

Aslong as you keep refering to the viper as your slower daily driver lol.

Fixed it for you Jay

Newest sponsor Carbonetics just stepped up to support my build so more cool carbon coming my way soon

Nice.. I have a carbonetics intake.

I have been keeping an eye on their facebook, but they don't update 1g stuff on there

My intake is originally from a Audi.

Some Carbon Fiber Doors Thanks Sergio at Carbonetics!

Nice!! What the weight difference?
I hear that the doors are the best weight savings.

I believe bare there 14 lbs, I will wiegh them once the glass and locks and such are in. My stock doors with door beams removed are around 79 lbs. I'm hoping close to 40 bls a side for 80 lbs total and still have functioning power locks and windows with glass

That sounds amazing!! Keep us updated really curios as to what the final weight is, 80lbs is impressive!

I know this maybe a stupid question, But did 2G's come with manual windows?

No and I dont'think you would safe much if any with manual windows theses days anyway the motor is pretty small Plus I'm lazy and have a ton of cage in the way of a window crank

Some 2g's did come with manual windows/locks.

Got bored doing wiring so finished up some fab work on the weekend. Big thanks to Kris for helping me with some of the more difficult alumiunum stuff{thumbup} Pretty proud of myself I cut apart my old Moroso oil pan that was damaged and cut the sump etc out of it and made my own dry sump pan! All welding was done by myself on this part so be gentile on me haha {thumbup}

Got the lower intake piping welded out and the Wiggin's style clamp on and wow are these things the cats ass, positive lock, quick disconnect {thumbup}

Starting to make some progress its almost back to looking like its almost a car stage again! {thumbup} A ton of work left but def helps the motifation when you start looking at something more then a chassis!

Looking awesome Rob! Keep at it! Don't loose momentum..

I have to ask though, because every picture you have is from this angle..I'm not saying there's anything wrong with looking at such a beautiful turbo and intercooler...but how is the rest of it coming along?

Did you end up mounting your fabbed subframe?

haha the subframe and new diff are in and mounted I thought I posted pics let me see what I have I can post some up!

This is an auto right??
